How to Enable Compliance Settings
and Configure Client Settings
This procedure configures the default client settings
for compliance settings and applies to all computers in your
hierarchy. If you want these settings to apply to only some
computers, create a custom device client setting and assign it to a
collection that contains the computers for which you want to use
compliance settings. For more information about how to create
custom device settings, see
How to Create and Assign Custom Client Settings.
